The problem of task assignment in heterogeneous computing systems has been studied for many years with many variations. We have developed a new hybrid approximation algorithm. The...
Non-linear cryptanalysis is a natural extension to Matsui’s linear cryptanalitic techniques in which linear approximations are replaced by nonlinear expressions. Non-linear appro...
During the last decade various spatial data structures have been designed and compared against each other, all of them re ecting a dynamic situation with ongoing object insertion a...
